My 90 yr old Mother in Law was crowned Queen Valentine of the nursing home that she lives at. it was funny...crown and a robe..there was also a King ...

Molly is your new pup? Sorry if you said what kind...didn't you say you wanted a lab? Actually sounds kind of fun, mine potty trained easily. It was just the other issues - like biting and humping the neighborhood kids!!

So sweet that your MIL was crowned at her home. I just talked to my Mom - who is in a Memory Care facility. I will not go into any of it, but put her on your prayer chain, if you will my monkey friends. It is not going well. (Not because of the facility, it would not have mattered where...it is just more than I can take at times). It is more than anyone of us can take.

Caddi,praying for you and your family.

Thanks Trimmy - I will be okay - I just don't know how to deal with my Mom. Nothing we do is ever right. And I mean that. Nothing.

I am right there with you, Cadi--the nothing you ever do is right part. As she ages, she will get more like this. Just remember it is an illness and it is not you. If nothing you do can please her, stop trying and just do what you think is right and don't look back.

I am not sure if this has been an ongoing problem or not, but I highly recommend the book, "Toxic Parents" by Dr. Susan Forward, all except the part where it says to confront your parent(s). Awareness was the key, I didn't think confrontation was part of it, at least not for me. I recommended it to someone who was having the same issues. She loved the book and could not put it down. Good luck. You are not alone.

There seems to be so many friends and loved ones going thru this very thing. Thank you for the book I will recommend it to a couple friends. Prayers for all our Monkeys having a hard time right now with the caring of their loved ones.

FRISCO — Frisco police issued an alert Saturday for a teenage girl who has been missing since Friday night.

Bethany Stroud, 18, was last seen leaving her job at the Dr Pepper Arena at 9:30 p.m. Friday. Co-workers said she was walking toward her teal-and-black 1998 Pontiac Sunfire.

About 20 minutes later, dispatchers received a 911 call from Stroud's cell phone. "There was no conversation on the line," a statement from police said.

Investigators are asking for the public's help in finding Stroud and her vehicle, with Texas plates CXB-475. Call Frisco police at 972-292-6000 or contact your local police agency with any relevant information.

Muffy or Bearly is there a link for Bethany??? I skate sometimes at the rink where she went missing.

Cookie Hello and Good Night. Get some rest. Glad you had your grands over last night.

My day off was wonderful - and I worked all day yesterday- so not going into work today either! (I work for my hub's business- so as long as I am caught up - I have that pleasure).

Thanks for asking! What will your day bring?

Great to have that latitude and nice knowing you can grab a day or two off when business pemits.My day was consumed with research on bladder cancer.

Can, not that I can help with bladder cancer research, maybe TBM can help. If I can help in any way let me know. I can always ask my doctors, but they may not have the answers. If you have questions, ask Klaas for my email and I will try and help as much as I can.

Hugs and prayers.

Thank you so much JSM. Your kindness touches me.

My bro will begin his treatments tomorrow and I hope the treatment goes well and he can tolerate them.

Can your kindness and the monkeys kidness touches me.

I pray your brother tolerates the treatment.

Thank you, I'm so hoping....rang him tonight - no answer...hope he and sil are out having anice dinner before he has to face the music tomorrow.

Hi cookie. Hope you got a good rest last night. My two grands tire me out.

Had a great little birthday party for my Mom. She was very pleased. She loves being around the great grandchildren.

Toured another long term care facility on Thursday. My Mom really liked it and has decidedthat she doesn't need to look at any others. Next step is to have the doctor send a letter of recommendation to the authority that manages admissions, a patient assessment and he wil be placed on waiting list. Expect he will be received as a crises intake.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder. A day without sunshine is like..., night. On the other hand, you have different fingers. I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. 99% of Lawyers give the rest a bad name. Remember, half the people you know are below average. He who laughs last thinks slowest. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow. Always try to be modest, and be proud of it! OK,..... so what's the speed of dark? How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink? If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. What happens if you get scared half to death twice? Monday is a dreadful way to spend 1/7 of your life.http://www.guy-sports.com/humor/jokes/index_mon.htm

Sister, I don't mean to pry but I do think you are such a lovely person and you've been on my mind. Hope your health problems are all resolved. You always start the day by blessing us, so from me, God bless you.
